Jeremiah Smith believes Ohio State freshman Legend Bey could become a Heisman Trophy finalist—and possibly win the award before his Buckeyes career ends. Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down that blockbuster prediction, Bey’s dynamic role and how Arthur Smith can distribute the ball across Ohio State’s loaded offense.

Plus, Tito examines the battle between Tavien St. Clair and Luke Fahey to back up Julian Sayin, why the official depth chart may not reveal Ryan Day’s actual quarterback plan and what to expect against Ball State.

The Buckeyes also named seven captains for 2026, including Smith, Sayin, Brandon Inniss and Austin Siereveld. Tito discusses Inniss receiving the Block O jersey, the experienced offensive line and the Big Ten and SEC pushing back against former professional athletes returning to college.

It’s a packed Buckeyes Blitz covering Ohio State football’s biggest stories as the season opener approaches.
